Stuart was the pace setter for much of the outbound trip, with the rest of us quite happy to be part of the 'peloton'. We all have a go at attacking the pack and trying to carve out a bit of a lead (it is clearly a bloke thing!), and then watch as the rest of the group reign us back in. Good for the fitness levels and a bit of a laugh too. I have to say that my time out in front is relatively short lived and I am getting quite familiar with performing the 'anchor role' (fancy term for last!)
This was the first time any of us had travelled the full distance of the cycle path. For any Bike and Hikers living in Dunfermline, this is a great wee facility for the training, as long as its not too windy. Tarmac all the way, really peaceful and there are some great views along the way. If you have a cold or a bunged up nose, the smell of the great outdoors - and the cattle barn just past bogside - will clear it in no time.
The team all felt good at the end of the trip and this bodes well for the future. Honestly though, I have to say that I dont think I could have walked 43 miles after get off the bike yesterday. However, that's what the next few months is for - something to build on.
Just to prove the theory that no one looks good in a cycle helmet, here are a few photies from yesterday....
